Abstract ( 2341 )   PDF (1700KB) ( 298 )  
Objective  To investigate the effects of different target concentrations of propofol on mRNA expressions of pro-inflammatory cytokines as interleuk
in-1(IL-1),interleukin-6(IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) in patients underwent cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery,and to explore the ideal concentration of propofol in Chinese people for clinical use. Methods Sixty patients underwent CPB were randomly assigned into three groups (n=20) according to the different target concentrations:group A,2 mg?L-1; group B,3 mg?L-1;group C,4 mg.L-1.The blood samples were taken at the time of induction(T1),right after CPB(T2),30 min after CPB(T3),60 min after CPB(T4) and 3 h after CPB(T5).The mRNA expressions of cytokines were detected by RT-PCR.Results  The levels of the serum cytokine expressions of the patients in three groups showed no difference before C
PB,while the levels of all cytokines rushed up after CPB and went up at peak between 30-60 min after CPB,which had great differences at T1,T2,T3 and
T4 compared with T0.Compared with group A,the levels of all cytokines in group B and group C  were significantly decreased(P<0.05).However,the expression levels of cytokines  had no difference between group B and group C. Conclusion Propofol can inhibit the expressions of serum pro-inflammatory cytokines,including IL-1,IL-6 and TNF-α,in patients underwent CPB surgery;therefore inhibit inflammatory reaction.The recom
mended target concentration of propofol would be 3 mg.L-1 in CPB surgery. 

Objective To observe the curative effect of different doses of radiotherapy combined with cisplatin weekly therapy in the treatment of advanced cervi
cal cancer,and to explore better treatment options. Methods 135 cases of stage  ⅡB-ⅣA cervical cancer patients collected in Jilin Provincal Tumor Hospital
 from January 2007 to June 2008 met   the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into radiotherapy group(n=45,radiotherapy alone) and
concurrent chemoradiotherapy group(n=90),including 20 mg/m-2 low dose group(n=45) and 40 mg/m-2 standard dose group(n=45).
The 3-year survival rates and the incidence of related toxic reactions  in radiotherapy group and concurrent chemoradiotherapy group were compar
ed.At the same time the 3-year survival rates and the incidence of related  toxic reactions in 20  mg/m-2 low dose group and 40  mg/m-2 stand
ard dose group were compared.Results The median follow-up time was 42 (6-51) months.The 3-year survival rates  in  radiotherapy group and
  concurrent chemoradiotherapy  group  were 68.9% and 83.3%,the difference was statistically significant (χ2 = 3.858,P<0.05).The in
cidence of Ⅲ-Ⅳ acute toxic reactions in  radiotherapy  group was lower than that in  concurrent chemoradiotherapy group (χ2 = 4.072,P<0.05).The 3-year survival rates in  20 mg/m-2 low dose group and 40  mg?m-2 standard dose group  were 82.2% and 84.4%,there was no significant difference between  two groups (χ2 =0.090,P>0.05).The incidence of acute toxic reactions  in 20 mg/m-2 low dose group was significantly lower than that in  40 mg?m-2 standard
 dose group(χ2 =3.920,P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with radiotherapy alone,concurrent chemoradiotherapy can  significantly improve the efficacy of  ⅡB-ⅣA cervical carcinoma.In the concurrent chemoradiotherapy,compared with  40 mg?m-2 standard dose cisplatin,20 mg/m-2 low dose cisplatin  doesn’t  reduce the effect of radiotherapy in patients,but  reduce the incidence of Ⅲ-Ⅳ stage acute toxic reactions  in patients.

Journal of Jilin University Medicine Edition. 2013, 39 (2):  363-366. 
Abstract ( 1149 )   PDF (4097KB) ( 315 )  
Objective To  detect the refractive status of the 40 to 49 years old outpatients by cycloplegic refraction and the correction and to explore the method to improve the visual fatigue and symptoms of dry eye. Methods 30 visual  fatigue outpatients (60 eyes) with complaints of sore eye,dry eye,blurred vision,aged  40 to 49 years old  (average 44.43 years) were selected,11 patients were male and 19 patients were female;the other diseases such  as glaucoma,cataract,ocular fundus were ruled out after routine eye examination. The patients had no surgical and wearing myopia,hyperopia and astigmatism glasses history. Mydriasis refraction was porformed after conventional optometry,and the SchirmerⅠtest,tear film break-up time(BUT) detection and corneal fluorescent staining were performed simultaneously. 43 eyes of 30 patients had a visual acuity of ≥ 0.8,and 17 eyes were between 0.4 and 0.6. Results Among all patients,37 eyes presented -0.25DS to -1.25DS with conventional refraction,36 eyes showed +0.50DS to +1.50DS after dilation;22 eyes presented 0.00DS to +1.25DS before dilation and 21 eyes showed+0.50DS to +1.50DS after dilation;27 eyes were diagnosed as moderately dry eye and 33 eyes were slightly dry eye. Conclusion Patients aged 40-49 years old with normal or close to normal results in conventional inspection still have considerable accommodation ability. There may exist hyperopia or hyperopic astigmatism in the patients with visual fatigue,dry eye and even a special face (frown). The examination results often exist error that is easily overlooked before dilation. The sore eye,dry eye,blurred vision and other visual fatigue symptoms in 30 patients (60 eyes) are significantly improved after optometry and optician. Therefore optometry after mydriasis and wearing glasses should be noted in the treatment of dry eye,that is the fundamental solution to relieve the symptoms of ocular discomfort completely.

Journal of Jilin University Medicine Edition. 2013, 39 (2):  414-418.  DOI: 10.7694/jldxyxb20130251
Abstract ( 1336 )   PDF (3922KB) ( 370 )  
Objective  To detect the ability of gallic acid (GA) to  restore Fe3+ in vitro,and  explore its antioxidant activity in vitro an
d to compare it with recognized antioxidant ascorbic acid (Vc),and to provide experimental basis for antioxident application of GA.
Methods Different concentrations of GA (0.04,0.08,0.12 and 0.16 g/L-1) and Vc (0.04,0.08,0.12 and 0.16 g/L-1) were used in the phenant
hroline-Fe2+ system to  occurre Fenton reaction and the potassium ferricyanide-Fe3+ system to occurre Fe3+ restore reaction.The A values of the solution after reaction were detected with  UV spectrophotometer. SPSS 17.0 package and two-way ANOVA were used to analyze the relationship between the A values and concentrations of GA and Vc solution.Results  In the phenanthroline-Fe2+ system,the A value of  GA solution was larger than that of Vc at the same concentration(P<0.05).Compared with 0.04 g/L-1 GA group,the A values in 0.08,0.12,and 0.16 GA groups were gradually increased(P<0.05);and ethanol influenced the A value of the phenanthroline-Fe2+ system.In potassium ferricyanide-Fe3+ system,the Fe3+ reduction ability of GA was stronger than Vc when their concentrations were  0.04 g?L-1;the abilities were weaker  in the other concentrations.When the concentration of HCl was higher than 0.84× 10-2mol/L-1,it had  great influence in the A value of potassium ferricyanide-Fe3+ system.Conclusion Compared with Vc,GA has a stronger Fe3+ restoring capacity under certain conditions in vitro.
